===With a PC's optical drive===
'''Note: Using ImgBurn is not a very reliable ripping method, however it may be "good enough" if you just want to play the game. For preservation purposes, you should follow the [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Disc_Dumping_Guide_(MPF) Redump guide], or if you really can't follow this guide then you should at least use IsoBuster (recommended by Redump if you can't follow the guide).
Windows: Use [https://ninite.com/ImgBurn/ ImgBurn]
For PS1/PS2 blue disc games, make sure you rip the disc as a BIN+CUE rather than a single ISO file.
While you can play PS1/PS2 discs directly from your PC's optical drive in some emulators (ePSXe and older mednafen releases for PS1, PCSX2 for PS2) it wears the disc and the optical drive the longer you use it, hence why it's not recommended. Once you have ripped the game, you should check the hashes against the [https://redump.org Redump] database to make sure the rip is good.
